The pool is the best part of this hotel. The beds are extremely hard and they only provide 2 pillows, the norm is 4.on the smaller side.I did ask for a topper and they provided one.Do not expect any amenities such as body lotion or really anything at all. A 4 star rating is a bit generous. The location is good with the beach being across the street.

Very nice hotel in a quiet part of Jomtien. A good and varied selection for breakfast, with literally any food you could think of within walking distance.
The only thing that I could complain about is that they are currently refreshing some of the rooms and there can be a smell of varnish outside your hotel room.

Okay to try but wouldn't go back

We stayed at the Avalon and it looked nice in the photos but when we arrived it was tired and old and doors and lights were dusty and hallway carpets stained.
Bathrooms were also mouldy in places and could do with a deep clean.
I also got food poisoning from the satay chicken at the hotel but staff didn't understand I was really ill for 3/4 days.

I will honestly say I don’t think I would stay here at this property again. For the following reasons.
- There was no hot water was only warm and the water pressure was variable no matter what time of day.
- The air conditioning unit was very loud and sounded like a jet. So loud that you would almost have to yell to have a conversation.
- The room smelled moldy and musty.
- The entire hotel decor in rooms & common areas is very old needs updated / remodeled and reminds me of 1970’s Iraq / Middle East palace feel.
- The beds are very hard, lumpy and uncomfortable.
- We did bring issues to management due to mold smell & AC noise in room 228. They moved us to 229. But had same issues.
- Breakfast was sub par, coffee machine was Luke warm, orange juice was powder orange food coloring. Even the omelette station was under cooked & was not hot. Non of the food was hot. Even the pastry’s were stale and not fresh.
- I ordered margaritas and pepperoni pizza one evening, sat out at the bar by the street watching the sunset. The margaritas were extremely small in a very small child like sippy cup. I ask for crispy pizza still came out under cooked.
- Wood decking around pool has holes and rotten wood so watch your step as you walk around, hope not to get wood splinters in your feet.
Over all very clean, safe, convenient over across the street to the beach convenient to entertainment. But it’s kind of a hike walk to any bakeries or coffee shops.
Staff very nice & polite

Ageing but still a worthwhile resort

This is not our first time here. Last was pre-Covid. Upon returning nothing has changed much except perhaps a little more tired. The location is perfect for the beach, especially the gay part. The lobby is open, spacious & clean. The pool is a big drawcard. Stunning & large. Breakfast is perfectly acceptable. The staff are all friendly. The rooms are where the issues for some people may lie. The beds are getting tired & some of the sheets need changing. We had holes in ours. The electrics need modernising. There are no usb ports. The bathroom only has a shower over the bath & getting in & out for older folks is problematic. There is also a lingering odour in a number of area - cleaning products designed to mask even greater odours. For the price I think that Avalon represents a reasonable value. Renovation of the bathrooms would make it so much better but, in the meantime, you could do a lot worse.

Location perfect, hotel is beautiful

What a beautiful place to stay -
The pool is amazing, the location could not be better. Walk out the back gate, turn left and Baht bus stop is 300m down the road right out front of 7-11 store. Hop on Baht bus here and 10baht will take you into pattaya, mikes mall, central, terminal 21… route runs right along second street.
It is tucked away so no rowdy late night parties or bars near by. ( there is a quiet little bar and eatery 200m down the road. Quiet though)
Breakfast buffet was nice, I had fresh eggs, bacon on toast and cereal with fresh fruit so I saved on buying lunch every day.

Do yourself a favour and book the pool access rooms, from your bed it is about 20 steps and you’re in the pool. Doors block out all noise so no problem.
But
Don’t go overboard, I upgraded to the larger direct pool access room, the one with a spa bath with windows around it in the picture.. it was the last couple of night, why not splurge.. if I stayed in the other cheaper pool access room I would have given 10/10.. the room is nice! But not worth the extra money per night. The other rooms have concrete walls, the premium room has the ability to become a twin room with the room next door, so sound travels through the doors in the wall into next door. And any food (or other) smells from next door come into your room..

I would definitely stay here again! In the pool access rooms, not the delux one.

Spacious, clean but ageing

We have previously stayed here & enjoyed it but this time proved frustrating. Changed rooms twice. Initially due to bad smell in room and then second time because air conditioning was faulty. Rooms are spacious & clean & breakfast is acceptable. Pool is lovely & access to beach is a great bonus. Good shuttle service to main road. Staff a bit aloof, especially shuttle drivers.

Though this is an older hotel and was relatively small compared with most others in Pattaya, it had everything you need. Great pool, rooms and balconies generous and close to a clean safe beach. The staff were helpful, pleasant and always happy to help. Would happily recommend the Avalon and look forward to staying again.

I loved that one can step straight onto Dongtan Beach. The bedrooms are large. Every room has a balcony with table and chairs. Every room overlooks the huge swimming pool in beautiful, tropical surroundings. WiFi is fast and free.

The choice of breakfast foods on offer is awful. Plenty of variety but few things anyone can recognize as familiar breakfast fare. God only knows where the cook is from but the foods on offer look inedible. Hence the restaurant was empty for lunch and dinner given the poor standard of the breakfast. However, there are plenty of excellent dining options along the beach in both directions, a short walk away, my favorites being the Rabbit Resort to the right out the gate or the Pirate Bar to the left.

Fantastic location, wonderful pool, breakfast very good and open until 10.30am. Rooms spacious, clean and quiet. If you prefer a day on the beach, it’s basically a step out of the gate on to a beautiful beach with plenty of sun beds for hire. There isn’t really a bar of note in the hotel,although drinks are available , but with plenty of bars a short walk away, this isn’t really a problem....highly recommend!

Potential was there but....

The room was lovely. Public areas very comfortable. Pool and deck were in poor repair. Tiles were missing in the pool and a lot of the deck was rotting. Pool sanitation was poor. Parents were playing with small babies in pool and no diapers! Opportunity for roto virus or Noro virus was very high. Standards should be raised. Staff were a little reserved, could have been friendlier.

Good location and beautiful resort

The room was a nice size, big enough to spread out. I liked having a refrigerator so I could store my coffee creamer. The breakfast was amazing with its wide selection and quality food. The location was good for finding other restaurants and activities within walking distance. Internet connection was good. I loved the pool since it was long enough for doing laps (approx. 25 meters) but I had to swim before 10am to not get in the way of others enjoying the pool.

Gem of a beach hotel

The first impression was excellent in all aspects. Nice swimming pool; Just on the beach. Some minor drawbacks observed are - bath tub hot water alternating from hot to cold every few seconds, the housekeeping staff cannot understand English, the hotel doesn’t provide shaving or dental kits. Though a bit inside from the main road accessability is easy and we had our own car and so it didn’t matter. Shoe shine or ironing board are not available though hotel might have decided that those are not required for a beach holiday resort. Overall very good.

Hyvä uima-allas. Netin kanssa aika paljon ongelmia ja se toimi vaihtelevasti. Hotellissa näkyy kuluneisuutta ja esim. uima-altaan peranta pitäisi uusia.

Hotel is een beetje vergane glorie. In heel Thailand nog nooit zo'n ongeïnteresseerd en passief personeel meegemaakt. De kamer die wij geboekt hadden maakte veel goed, alhoewel ook hier een en ander aan renovatie toe was. Deuren die niet sluiten, uit de kast vallende planken en een likje verf zou ook niet misstaan. Gezelligheid is hier niet te vinden. Locatie daarentegen perfect. En daar gaat het eigenlijk ook om.
